In our WONDERFUL DT:

3) LIZZIE LINDSAY

I remember Jim Lucas [Denmark, now??] singing this one 20 years ago in the East Village. [no wry smiles about Scottish hamburgers OR the Chieftains, please!!] Ricky

It's in the DT, search it by Lizzie Lindsay. Ricky, I think you did this with me 15 yrs. ago. You also did the 'Idle Wielder' & when I sang it, Dick or Allen asked, where did you get that. You must be losing your repertoire to the likes of me, not that I can remember much anymore. Barry

I have also seen the name Lizzie spelt as Leezie in printed music, including the Child Ballad book I found it in about 20 years ago, if my memory serves correctly.

Lovely tune, despite its simplicity, although the version I know has a few more twiddly-bits (deeply technical term, there) in the melody than the DT version.

Helen

P.S. Do a search on Lindsay rather than Lizzie, or go to the tune titles.

Vance Randolph has a 2 verse version from Miss Lisbeth Hayes of Fayetville Arkansas under the title of New Yealand on page 165 of Ozark Folk Songs. Also see Child No 226.

Will ye gang to the highlands, Lizzie Lindsay ? Will ye gang to the highlands with me? Will ye gang to the highlands, Lizzie Lindsay, Me wife and me darling to be?

Will I gang to the highlands with you Sir? Such a thing it never can be! For I don´t know the land that you come from, nor know I the name you go with.

? ? For me name is Sir Ronald MacDonald A Chieftain of high degree.

? She kilted her petticoat over her knee. And she´s gone with Sir Ronald MacDonald his wife and his darling to be.

I heard this tune some time ago and that´s all I can remember. But Its clear to see what it´s about. Greetings, Seamrog
